To defeat the enemy use different weapons.Their action is not the same.One of the most dangerous species is a biological weapon.It is a virus, fungi, microbes, and animals infected with these viruses.The purpose of the application of this weapon is a slaughter among the people, flora and fauna.The structure includes biological weapons and means of delivery it to its destination.
This kind of weapon does not harm the structure, subjects and materials of value.It affects and infects animals, people, water, vegetation, etc.
Biological weapons are divided into several types depending on the materials used.
The first type - is the use of bacteria.These include anthrax, plague, cholera and other infectious diseases.
Next view - are viruses.There distinguish smallpox, encephalitis, various kinds of fever and other diseases.
third type - it Rickettsia.This includes agents of typhoid fever, some types of fever and others.
And the last - fungi.They cause disease histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, and some other diseases.
The presence of certain types of pathogens and determines the type to which the biological weapon.
Unlike other types of weapons (nuclear or chemical), this species is a source of infection entering the body, even in minimal doses.Another feature of this weapon is its ability to spread.That is, there is the possibility of disease transmission from person to person and from animal to man.
It is also very resistant to destruction.Once in the soil or other external environment, it is stored for a long time.Its effect can occur after a certain period of time and cause an outbreak.
to the following features, which has a biological weapons of mass destruction, can be attributed to invisibility.The period from infection to the first signs of the disease may be asymptomatic, leading to its spread.To identify diseases and infections at an early stage is possible only by laboratory methods.This is a very laborious and lengthy process.And when it comes to countering biological weapons, then measures should be taken immediately.
To identify the fact of the use of this type of weapon, you should consider some of the features of its structure.Typically, the application places are round pieces.At the moment of rupture I heard a thud.A sure sign is the formation of vapor and clouds that quickly vanish.There may also be the appearance of liquid droplets on the surface area of impact or substances in powder form.An indication of the use of biological weapons is also a trace of flying the aircraft, the emergence of a large number of rodents or insects, which is not typical for this time or location.It is also a consequence of its use is the mass death of animals and at the same time a large number of sick people.
usual method of spread of viruses and bacteria is the respiratory system.In this case, the use of spray means.They are deposited on the surface of the skin, clothing, soil, plants and penetrate into the human body through inhalation or cuts.Also, carriers may be animals and animal products.Biological weapons - this is the most dangerous kind of weapons of mass destruction.
In this regard, humanity has been developing tools against its effects.Protection against biological weapons must be immediately lest it spread.These tools include vaccines and serums.Also subject to immediate destruction of infected animals, objects and food.
